Shoreline Transformational Adaptation: Forward Looking Nature-based Climate Resilience¶

Our proposed framework recognizes the fundamental need for innovation and entrepreneurship to create the next generation of nature-inspired innovative coastal protection systems provided by the RISE Rural and Urban Coastal Community Resilience Challenge projects. To support this effort, the Mason Flood Hazards Research Lab, the Center for Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Studies and the Business for a Better World Center will: 1) develop engineering and scientific validation of the RISE innovative solutions providing the foundation for widespread implementation for coastal protection at scale; 2) provide support for a forwardlooking design strategy ensuring that the proposed alternatives are resilient to extreme events and future climate conditions; and 3) provide support to translate pilot studies to a greater market and communities and to mitigate barriers related to social acceptance and adoption.

Project Objectives¶

  1. Evaluate the performance of innovative types of nature-based solutions based on field-scale prototypes and environmental measurements and enhance the current understanding of how boat wakes and wind waves are attenuated by these interventions.

  2. Determine how these nature-based solutions help address shoreline erosion under a range of conditions including high-frequency events and extreme events.

  3. Evaluate the performance of innovative nature-based solutions for shoreline protection under a range of future climate conditions.
